Interesting, just noticed all the rest of the games, including the conference tourney are either in the Houston area or in Florida.

Whitting talking to the home plate ump between innings. Hasn’t liked the calls all weekend and that one against Cherry was pretty bad.

Bottom 3rd

1 out Fuentes walk (1st of the year), Padgett single, Bielo bloop single to left scores Fuentes…Coogs lead 3-1

Wild pitch advances both runners. Hyland walks to load the bases. That’s it for the Cincy pitcher.

Lovelace bunts it too hard and Padgett is forced at home. Burckel infield single to short scores Bielo…Coogs lead 4-1

Triolo flies out to right.

T4…UH 4-1

You have to have Davis lead off and Triolo bat second or this is going to happen all the time

I think youre right, especially if you’re going to keep pulling Fuentes for Thomas.

It gives Joe in Triolo the more at bats

Email that idea to Whitting, wonder if he would consider it?

I really doubt it…batting third assures he will get to bat in the first inning. I mean, what would keep them from walking him if he batted first? We need him in a spot where he can do the most damage. They just walked him and it opened the flood gates to a nice rally.
He is batting third and leads the team in homers…leave him there. What we do is for the rest of the team to step up like they did in the sixth…

It would be for that one inning only, who would want to walk someone to start a game off, not a good omen, and he might get one xtra at bat for the whole game
